U.S. Rep. Ted Poe ('70) | Political Science

Long before he became a United States congressman, long before he served as a criminal court judge, before he prosecuted cases as an assistant district attorney, and even before he served in the military, Rep. Ted Poe ('70) knew the importance of public service.

His grandmother impressed it upon him. "My grandmother helped shape my career," says ACU's Outstanding Alumnus of the Year. "She always wanted me to be in public service."
